Intestinal Rehabilitation

The Nebraska Medical Center is home the United States' busiest intestinal transplant program. But intestinal failure does not always mean a transplant is necessary.

Record Number of Transplant Patients and Families Gather to “Celebrate Life”
Laurie Chiasson again headed for Omaha from her home in Louisiana. This
time, it was for a much different reason than when she first came here
seven years ago. The 2011 trip was for The Nebraska Medical Center’s
annual transplant reunion. Seven years ago, the trip to Omaha was
because her son needed a liver transplant.

Transplant Reunion Celebrates Second Chances
